TWO MORE POTENTIALLY FICTICIOUS ADDRESS and / or PERSON(S)

Continuing the discussion from [YET MORE POTENTIALLY FICTICIOUS ADDRESS and / or PERSON(S)]

(YET MORE POTENTIALLY FICTICIOUS ADDRESS and / or PERSON(S) - #7 by frank):

11863251 and 11863490

Incorporated on 6 March with the same, or similar, criteria matches. The first has a spurious prefix on a real address that is more usually presented in a different way across multiple registrations. The second has an address that does not appear to have been used as a registered office since 2005; archives show there are over 800 dissolved companies listed against it.

Unsurprisingly the PSC information is also (to my understanding) incorrectly filed:

11863251 - has the statement “The company knows or has reasonable cause to believe that there is no registrable person or registrable relevant legal entity in relation to the company”

…but the filing history (incorporation) shows that this private limited company has 100 shares, all held by the person named as director. That’s a registrable PSC, no?

Exactly the same story for the second example:

Of course there’s nothing to stop bogus companies / persons filing false info in the correct form. There are also plenty of examples of apparently legitimate organisations getting the PSC filings wrong in various ways (see previous threads). It should be possible to (automatically - this appears to be an electronic filing) cross-check some basic information though?

This is a variation on the familiar theme

  1. Address does not exist in Chippenham or anywhere else in the UK for that matter that we can find
  2. Postcode is not a valid UK postcode
  3. Single Chinese national, resident in China, as the sole officer
  4. PSC statement incompatible with initial shareholding.

Maybe someone is now trying to make themselves harder to find!

all these have been passed to our integrity dept.
thank you for reporting these.
